A variety of delivery modalities are again being employed this fall to enhance the safety and wellbeing of students and faculty alike. These include seated classes with physical distancing and facial coverings, hybrid seated-online classes with a rotating portion of the students attending the seated sessions, fully synchronous online classes, and fully asynchronous online classes. Academic departments and instructors, with guidance by the Owen Center for Teaching and Learning, Academic Affairs, and Human Resources, determined the best modality for each course.
- Students, faculty, and staff will complete a brief health check form daily which includes a symptom screen, exposure screen, and a temperature report. Hand sanitizing stations have been distributed across campus. Disinfectant spray and paper towels will be provided for surface cleaning before and/or after class.
